Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 Welcomes First Golden Bachelor Cast in Costa Rica

The 10th season of "Bachelor in Paradise" will feature, for the first time, cast members from "The Golden Bachelor" and "The Golden Bachelorette," bringing a more experienced group to the beach in Costa Rica for a second or third chance at love. The Golden cast includes April Kirkwood, Kathy Swarts, Leslie Fhima, and Natascha Hardee from "The Golden Bachelor" season one, alongside Charles “CK” King, Jack Lencioni, Keith Gordon, Kim Buike, and Ralph “RJ” Johnson from "The Golden Bachelorette" season one, with Gary Levingston joining later in the season. Returning to the show are host Jesse Palmer, bartender Wells Adams, and fan-favorite Hannah Brown, who will serve as head of Paradise Relations and introduce the new Champagne Lounge. The season premieres on July 7 on ABC and will be available on Hulu the following day. The inclusion of the Golden cast aims to demonstrate that age is just a number, as these older contestants bring their experience and add a unique dynamic to the youthful cast. The new location in Costa Rica and these fresh additions are expected to raise the bar on romance and entertainment for the milestone season.
